Oh so they want to start some state economic warfare?Over illegals?
Interesting
Surely this wont harm their own residents in anyway
I just want to point out that this has almost nothing to do with the illegals. They are just the fulcrum of the conflict but not it's cause.
This open rebellion was 100% going to happen the second the Democrats lost the election. 100% guaranteed.
These illegals just happen to become the focal point due to Trump's promise to get them all out but that's almost irrelevant as it could just as easily been any one of Trump other polices goals. They were always going to fight tooth and nail to stop anything Trump planned. The main problem the Democrats have is that they've lost all institutional power in the Federal Sphere. All they have left are their drones in the court system and that's a delaying tactic at best as the SCOTUS lands pretty firmly on Trump's side, ignoring the she-boon and commie lady who would rule against anything as long as it's something Trump wants. So what do these Progressives do? What can they do? Well they still have a lot of power in the focal blue states (Commiefornia, Illinois, New York etc) so when a Progressive is on the backfoot and lacking power well that's signal it's time to start rioting.
They want to force a confrontation in the hope that Trump does something stupid so they can seize the momentum back and hopefully in time for the mid-terms as no matter how much these Progressives scream "Death to Power" they love to use that Federal power like a cudgel over their enemies.
The hope is that Trump causes something like a mass shooting, we all see Pritzker doing everything he can to try to force some kind of event without letting his goons go too far and giving Trump the excuse he needs to really crack down. Pritzker and Newsome both see themselves as the natural next step in the Progressive Program and really don't give a single shit who gets hurt in the path to the Whitehouse. The more blood on the streets the better as far as they see it. And Newsome's on the edge of the conflict egging Trump on.Praying he goes to far and then old Gavin can swoop to the rescue.
And of course Trump and co want pretty much the same thing. They want those anti-fa goons to kill some ICE agent or agents preferably to give them the legitimate excuse to crack down and crack down hard on what they see as an illegal insurrection against Federal power...which it already kinda is but Trump has to moved carefully as American's don't really (yet) want to see NG troops patrolling US cities.
Both sides are eagerly looking for the excuse to start fighting but neither wants to be the side to fire the first shot as chances are whomever shoots first loses due to the average Joe seeing them as the evil side.
The real big question is; how far are the Democratic elites willing to push? Are they willing to risk open confrontation with Trump to gain back power? I say no, for now, as the mid-terms still hold some hope for them but if there is another blow out in the mid-terms we could see the tension quickly escalate and we all know the Left has no problem killing people via proxies so my bet is if the Dems do indeed lose the mid-terms then they will go all out as whomever wins in 2028 will control the 2030 census and thus the next few decades of political power thanks to the re-apportioning of house seats.
This is cold civil war and nothing less. Immigration is just the excuse being used to try to force a open confrontation by both sides.
